Pasta e Fagioli

Need a fast recipe now that everyone is back to school? Pasta e Fagioli made a regular appearance at my dinner table growing up.

This delicious soup was easy to convert to a whole food plant-based version thanks to tempeh! If you have never tried tempeh this is the perfect recipe to try.

Tempeh is a traditional Javanese food made from fermented soybeans. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process.

Pasta e Fagioli really is a great soup to make when trying to lose weight or maintaining. Packed full of beans and veggies with just a little bit of pasta thrown in. I promise our Pasta e Fagioli recipe is going to become one of your favorites.
